We fade in from black into a dingy, rust covered room, from the left of the screen enters a figure that… we haven’t seen before in PCW. A small, mouse-like woman with long, frayed brown hair wearing a grey vest with the flag of Scotland patched on, black pants and a red corset top. She leans against the back wall of the room and starts laughing to herself. After a few moments, she begins to speak with a chipper grin on her face.

“How ye daein? I’m Nikki. Nikki Cross!” Nikki gives the camera a huge cheeky grin. “I got this philosophy ye know, about tha world and how it works… and apparently not a single one of ye share it with me. Heh… it’s sad really… sad and pathetic if ye think about it…. you lot seem to not be sharp enough to get it yer thick skulls… and no matter how many times you are faced with the cold hard truth of this world, you turn a blind eye to it and you end up consumed by us who have embraced it… “ The mouse-like scott stops, doubles over and starts giggling to herself. “Mibbe someone oughtta teach yeez how things work in the real world… and I guess since naebody is gonna do it, I guess it’ll have to be me who does it…” She pauses for just a moment before continuing, her grin wiped from her face, replaced by a seriour scowl. “The truth… the truth is… nothing matters. There is no law… there is no order… there are no rules… its only chaos… This world revolves around one truth… kill, or BE killed… and if ye dinnae understand this… or if ye choose to ignore it like some daft loon… someone who does… someone like me… will inevit’bly get rid of ye, like the rubbish that y’are.” She points at the camera, with a glare. “And ye cannae play by yer own rulez either… because it never works… it NEVER works. Why doesn’t it work?Who knows Nikki, it just doesn’t ever work. The world isn’t painted with shades-a grey. It is black or it’s white. No matter what people try do to change tha world Nikki… it always ends up tha same.”

Nikki doubles over. She seems a lot more troubled than we’d have perceived her to be a moment ago. She stays this way for a while, however after a few moments, she snaps back up.

“This business was built on the idea that ye either win or ye lose… ye win ye eat…. Ye lose…” She pauses and lets out a giggle. “Well, ye dinnae want to lose do ye? Hee hee… Kill or BE killed… ye win ye eat… ye lose ye die and get eaten… this is the truth that naebody in this damned comp’ny understands this… they all think that if they do their best… win or lose… things will eventually go their way… but I’m afraid tha’ isn’t the case… not in the real world… not in my world… his world…” She pauses. “He sent me here to show you lot… what happens when ye forget this one truth… the one and only rule that we must all live by… and I am gonna do it… I am gonna show each and ev’ry single one of ye what it menas to live in the reality that is Chaos… It’s kill or be killed… nobody here understands this but you and me Nikki… nobody wants to understand the reality of the world… and you are going to show them Nikki… its kill or be killed and I want you to KILL and I want you to win… I want to kill and I want to win… I ain’t gonna be killed… hee hee hee…”

Nikki seems to be having a conversation with herself… cutting between her normal speaking voice and a deep scratchy voice, obviously imitating someone. as she talks about bringing the reality of The Chaos to light, or whatever she is saying in her ramblings. Eventually she turns back to the camera once more…

“All of ye chase the crown that is dangled in front of you like rabbits chasing a carrot… and like the rabbit, yer so focused on what is directly in front fo ye, ye ignore the fox waiting in the bushes, ready to take everything from ye… I am that fox waiting in the bushes… and I will take everything from ye… yer hopes, yer dreams, everything that you hold dear!” She pauses for just a moment. “I will take the crown that ye all seek… and I will laugh as I take all of yer dreams for myself… I will inherit the world that was promised to me… and purge the world of the pathetic order that ye all find comfort hiding in… Chaos is the true state of this world… and I will be its herald…”

It’s that time of year again ladies and gentlemen, when the women of PCW compete for one of the biggest prizes of the year, the coveted Queen of the Ring crown. Each year, we see the top women’s wrestlers face off in a single elimination tournament, but this year Primetime Championship Wrestling has decided to put the PCW Women through the ringer, to really test their metal with a round robin tournament!

Eight women will compete in two blocks in singles competition, leading up to the Path to Glory pay-per-view. The woman who wins a match is given two points. If a match ends in a draw, it’s one point each. A loss gets you zero points. At Path to Glory, the two women with the most points in the two blocks will compete in the finals to determine the Queen of the Ring, and the woman who will compete at Unbroken for the PCW Women’s World Championship.

So the only question now is… who are the women in the tournament? At this time, PCW can officially announce four women who have been granted a place in the tournament based on their efforts.

Already Qualified are:Peyton Royce, who based on her previous year has more than earned her spot in the tournament.Alexa Bliss, who earned her spot in the Queen of the Ring based on her participation in the finals of last year’s tournament.JoJo Offerman, who’s tenure more than warrants her place in the tournament.Summer Rae, who warrants this spot based on recommendation from her legal team.

The final four women to qualify, will be determined in qualification matches over the next couple weeks, starting with the two announced matches on this coming Turmoil, then once all eight women have been determined, they will be seeded and the Queen of the Ring Tournament will begin proper.

CODY RHODES
Bend the Knee, he said. The Undisputed PCW Heavyweight Champion of the World Cody Rhodes set his sights on the title in late March of 2017, embarking on a determined quest towards royalty. Accruing twelve wins to his one loss since then, Cody defeated names like CM Punk, former Rising Champion and current Tag Team Champion Braun Strowman, Austin Aries, Kevin Steen, current Rising and Tag Team Champion Luke Harper, former PCW Champion Kenny Omega, AJ Styles, former Television Champion Jay Briscoe, Kazuchika Okada, former PCW World Heavyweight Champion Finn Balor, and former PCW Champion Mick Foley. Along this journey to the upper echelon of PCW Superstars, Rhodes united with Alexa Bliss to form a power couple that runs the most dominant faction in the company, The Throne. Over the last three-quarters of the year, Cody has run straight through every obstacle in his path, and more importantly? Through every challenger for his title. His nine months of accolades in PCW include successful title defenses over AJ Styles, Finn Balor, Drew Galloway, and Mick Foley. With his PCW World Heavyweight Championship reign standing at over 150 days, Cody Rhodes has made 2017 the Year of Cody. Whether it was through his .923 winning percentage in 2017 or through the immense amount of official Cody Rhodes (and Throne) merchandise sold, Cody Rhodes has made his 2017 a year to remember, and even further? He's made himself a man to remember

KENNY OMEGA
When Kenny Omega first came into PCW, he was arguably the most hated man in the company, or at least the second-most. He was maniacal, he was egotistical, and was willing to end people’s careers just to get what he wanted, and what he wanted was Perfection. With the likes of The Miz, Corey Graves, and former Paht to Glory winner Briley Pierce among the list of victims who fell ot his One Winged Angel, Kenny Omega was primed to achieve his long desired goal. However, as the year progressed, and Kenny found himself coming just short of his Perfection, he started to have a change in heart. Realizing that ending the careers of others was not the way to achieve perfection, he set forth to achieve it in a new way… the right way. From then, he main evented Unbroken and became PCW Champion, and went on to have classic matches with men like Cody Rhodes, Luke Harper, and Mankind. Even though Kenny Omega no longer hodls PCW Gold, he has found his perfection. The only question left, is will his year have the perfect ending?

EDGE
Cunning, sly, manipulative, opportunistic. These are all words that describe Edge's run at the beginning of this year. Starting the year off with a bang at the most watched Pay-Per-View of the year, Resurrection, Edge claimed his first PCW World Heavyweight Championship, but he didn't stop there. Edge dominated for months, sending Finn Balor to the hospital and causing a rating spike in the process. The ratings spike lead to many superstars flocking the company and Edge claims his presence on the top of the company is what lead to that spike. Edge's run did not end as many would expect, succumbing to his neck injury that he endured many years ago, but his short run atop the company rivals the great runs of the past.

MICK FOLEY
Whether you know him by Mick Foley, Mankind, Cactus Jack, or Dude Love we can all agree that he is one hell of a competitor. Signing with the company in late July, Foley has proven himself to be a big player in PCW. Mick Foley made his Pay-Per-View in ring debut in the historic Keys to the Kingdom match. Despite not emerging victorious, Foley did catch the attention of many roster members and fans alike. Despite his age he was still a serious and capable competitor. When Mick Foley was set to face off against Kenny Omega for the PCW Championship, he shocked the world when he refused to acknowledge the fan vote for Dude Love and opted to face Omega as the deranged Mankind. It was there that Mankind would win his first (of what may be many) championship in PCW. Mankind would go on to face Cody Rhodes at Fallout II in hopes of being the man to stop The American Nightmare, but alas, it was Cody Rhodes who emerged victorious and unified the two championships. Whether he's Dude Love, Mankind, Cactus Jack, Mick Foley, in or out of the Ministry, or even a Champion, he has proven to the entire world that he is a strong and deserving contender for PCW's Man of the Year Award. As for what Mick Foley has in mind for 2018? Only he could answer that...

SETH ROLLINS
He was redesigned. He was rebuilt. But above all else, Seth Rollins was redeemed. After returning to the PCW ring in late February of 2016, Rollins aligned himself with the Authority and won the Path to Glory Tournament before failing to win the PCW World Heavyweight Championship from Brock Lesnar at Unbroken VI. However, after he was betrayed by JoJo Copeland (then JoJo Offerman) during his rivalry with former PCW World Heavyweight Champion Edge, Rollins began to understand the error of his ways. Rather than return to his traditional nefarious measures, Seth instead opted to redeem himself, both in the eyes of the PCW Universe and in his own eyes. Through the course of 2017, Rollins won seven of his ten matches, including wins over names like Bray Wyatt, Kassius Ohno, former PCW Rising Champion Johnny Mundo, Bobby Roode, Adam Cole, former Television Champion Marty Scurll, Curtis Axel, and Kazuchika Okada. Most telling of his year, however, would be the second-longest PCW Rising Championship reign in PCW history. After defeating Johnny Mundo on the March 23rd episode of Thursday Night Turmoil, Rollins would go on to hold the title for over one hundred and ninety days, second only to The Hurricane's reign of over three hundred days. With successful title defenses against Bobby Roode and Adam Cole, Rollins' 2017 far outshone any of the six years he'd spent in PCW prior. For years, Rollins offered the assertion that when people step into the ring with him, no one survives. But for Seth Rollins, the legacy of his 2017 can and will.

NAOMI
Holding the Women’s Championship during the first part of the year, Naomi proved that not only was she the baddest of the bad, but the top women’s athlete in all of PCW. From her battles with Kelly Kelly, to her appearance in the dreaded War Chamber, and her ability to bring out the best in her opponent, no matter who she was, Naomi made damn sure that PCW knew who she was, and what she was about. Even though she made her final in ring appearance in a losing effort against Becky Lynch at Zero Hour, there is no questioning or doubting Naomi was one of the best that PCW had to offer in 2017.

PEYTON ROYCE
Peyton Royce started the year off with a bang becoming the innagural Empire Champion, defeating Mickie James and Asuka. She then went on to defeat Naomi in a champion versus champion match before having memorable feuds agasint Carmella and Queen of the Ring winner Emma alongside her best friend and closest ally Billie Kay. Throughout the year though there was one constant thorn in the side of Mother Nature’s favorite superstar, Becky Lynch the two fought one another on multiple different occasions for the Empire, and Knockouts Title, with their feud ending at Interactive Anarchy. Peyton ended the year off in a losing effort against Rosemary for the vacant PCW Women’s Championship, and though even she came up short there, she will surely be in the title picture again. Mother Nature was kind to Peyton this past year, and she is looking to make her proud in 2018.

RAQUEL DIAZ
Raquel Diaz is one of the most prominent Knockouts of not only the past year but the past five. Having made her triumphant return early 2017, Ms. Diaz put the entire division on notice. Upon her arrival to the Takedown brand, Raquel Diaz entered a heated feud with Women's Champion at the time, Sasha Banks. The Diaz vs. Banks feud got so intense, the FCC couldn't break these girls apart. Although Sasha delivered some deep cuts, Raquel came out a better person for finally having confronted her father's grave in what was one of the most emotional moments in PCW history. After claiming her third PCW Women's Championship, Raquel would enter a feud against Rosemary, a rather formidable foe. It was in the main event of a historic "Match of 10,000 Tacks" at Zero Hour III that Raquel would successfully defend the PCW Women's Championship. Soon after, Raquel would wrap up her PCW story with three of her closest friends and rivals. At Fallout II, Raquel compete against AJ Lee, Kaitlyn, and Paige in her retirement match. Despite not winning the highly anticipated match, Raquel had won so much more. She had won a poetic ending to one of the most acclaimed runs in PCW history - men or women - an ending that some would say could only happen in a fairytale.

BECKY LYNCH
Becky Lynch came into PCW with one goal in mind, to be the best women’s wrestler in PCW, and who can argue that she didn’t do just that? With matches against the likes of Kaitlyn, Paige Knight, Kelly Kelly and Naomi, you cannot say that Becky Lynch brought something tot eh PCW ring. On otp of that, her historic moment with Charlotte Flair, being the first women to main event in PCW history at International Incident, and her seemingly never ending feud with Peyton Royce, raised the bar for women in PCW, and the entirety of professional wrestling. The future may be uncertain for Becky Lynch in PCW, but we certainly can’t deny that 2017 was arguably her year.

JOJO OFFERMAN
JoJo Offerman, and for a period of time Copeland, dominated the main event scene with her partner Edge for months. An integral part in what made Edge a top star, JoJo made her presence known in Edge's defining moment by getting herself involved in the match and helping Edge to victory. Her claim to fame this year isn't just her connection with Edge. Although that was the highest profile thing she had done, JoJo earned multiple shots at the PCW Women's Championships, and participated in the Queen of the Ring Tournament. A staple in the company week in and week out this year, JoJo Offerman can be argued as the last remaining icon from the earlier days of PCW.
